Can this receive & RECORD audio for fire pages in the 159 mhz range that my pager currently has difficulty receiving because of distance from tower?

You could record with the gqrx software in Linux ( gnu radio distro from a pendrive ) for example. Distance from tower will have to be addressed with an external antenna of the desired frequency, I believe you will need a mmx to bnc connector and a normal antenna with bnc.

That appears to be in the frequency range of the dongle. However, I would suggest you set up an outside antenna in the air as high as you can. That pager signal is probably coming from high on that tower. If the signal is strong enough you will be able to record it.

of course 192 khz will be better but it will need more processor and ram speed .the best feature about this card is its stability

Try a few different frequencies. Also make sure you don't have any other wireless equipment on a similar frequency. We had a mic that spiked anytime someone in the next building used a Walkie Talkie.

I have to use a magnetic mounted anntenna on top my truck. The repeater is about 25 miles away from my house. I can hear but not transmit. It's a great radio I like mine.

i would research wireless mics, most of them are compatible, and will pick up the signal from the unit.

Frequency Range UHF 400-470MHz. On mine I get my local fire dept which is 33.48000 but also 453.17500. I hope this helps.

As far as I know, the unit only has 2.4 GHz radio frequency. I have not had problems with it.

Only if you know what you are doing. There are still a lot of Fire/EMS departments using some of the frequencies that these can transmit on. If you jam up one of those there is not only the FCC issues, but you may prevent emergency communications. That opens up a whole other can of worms.

It's not for full range audio, it's a sub link. It only transmits the lower frequencies. This is not intended for streaming.

This unit does not program trunking codes, nor does it feature 800 megahertz. This unit is perfect for UHF/VHF single channel and single channel to repeater communications for fire, police, emergency management at the local level. Call your local fire department dispatch to ensure your area is not using 800 megahertz or trunking.

I have used a dual band radio and transmitted between 144-146 MHz (2 meter band) and 430-440 MHz (70 centimeter band). I hit the repeaters without any problems and with full quieting. I have it on a Baofeng UV-5RE Plus and it works quit well. Hopefully this answers your questions.Fred

I use one connected to a homemade 1/4 wave, ground plane antenna mounted on a 20 foot tower. I can consistently communicate on the 2 meter band on repeaters up to 80 miles away.

I would say No, IBM puposly made there version of wifi short range 100 feet max. but it is 2.4 ghz, would be very minimal i'll bet.

no not with this radio, freq. are not the same. this is around 27 mhz. most police freq. now are around 800-900 mhz or some smaller towns are still on 150 mhz or 450 mhz

The range of this system is so short it is very unlikely you will have a problem. I believe you have some understanding of the relation between zip codes and RF frequencies. This is none!

Probably. Find out where the tower is and see if you have a reasonable line of sight thats not obstructed by tall trees. I found heavy fog and rainstorms degrade the signal, so on those days its iffy. I live 30 miles away from the tower with hills and lots of trees in between but get a good signal most of the time with the amplifier.

It has a range from 88.1 all the way up to 107.9. It's just a matter of which ones are usable, depending on the area. 105.5 works best for me in my neck of the woods.
